titles: 81 can recommend Electric Bitters
rs the very best remedy. Every bottle

Rheumatism of 10 years standing" Abra-
ham Hare, druggist, Belleville, Ohio, af-
firms: ''Tho best selling medicine have
ever handled in my 90 years experience,
is Electric Bitters." Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the

--MR. j. G. Wickliffe, District At
torney, will be a candidate before the
mex. District Convention, for Judge.
He so informed us, and as he did
not tell Us to keep "mum," we
give it to our readers as bit of news.
If Mr.. w., would make as good
judge as he has district attorney, he
would please the people.-Town Talk.
It's a fact, sure enough. Our friend
John c., expects to be put forward by
Avoyelles, and helped by both Rap
ides and Grant, therefore, will make
winning race. The gentleman has
proved, during his term as District At
.orney Of this Judicial District, to be
an able juriss, an excellent and con
s;ientious officer, perfectly fearless in
the discharge of his duty. We can
see no good reasons why our efficient
District Attorney should not be pro-
NOTED.

You are way off, Bro. Hulse. We
have only voted one tax, as yet, that
to the Louisiana and Arkansas rail
road. We will, as yov say, however,
vote tax to any bona fde railroad
that will turn its head this way, and

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases No person can use it with
out immediate relief. Three doses
will relieve any case, and we consider
it the duty of all Druggists to recon-
mend it to the poor, dying consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle, as S0,-
600 dozen bottles were sold last year
and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such a medicine as the Ger
man Syrup cannot be too widely
known. Ask your druggist about it.
Sample bottles to try sold at 10 cents.
Regular size IS cents. Sold by all
druggists and dealers in the United
States and Canada.

THE CROP CONDITION.

CHICAGO, July 1O.-The following
crop summary will appear in this weeks
issue of the Farmers Review: During
the last week refreshing rains were ex-
perienced quite generally throughout
the States of the Mississippi Valley,
though many unvisited localities suffer
ed from droutb. The winter wheat
harvest Is now so nearly completed as to
furnish safe basis of the estimate of
the yield. Estimates of the yield per
acre by summarizing the report of our
correspondents in this issue are as fol-
lows: For seventeen counties in Illi-
nois, II bushels; nine counties in Indi
ana give an average of 1913 bushels per
acre: twelve counties in Kansas, Is
bushels, which the former reports in
cline us to think is too high; four cOun>
ties in Kentucky III bushels; three
counties In Michigan Is bushels; seven
counties In Missouri IS Al bushels; II
counties in OHIO 16 bushels, and four
counties In Wisconsin 16M bushels. The
reports on the condition of wheat are
quite uniform from Dakota, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. The
lowest percentage of condition as com
pared with average crop Is 70 from Me-
brasks and the highest 7S from Wiscon-
sin. The spring wheat is rapidly ap-
maturity, and now in spite of
drouth and insect injury gives promise
of about three-quarterS of an average
CROP.

A PEEP AT LAMAR.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The follow"
ing little incident in the congressional
history of Secretary Lamar is thus in'
terestingly told by Col. J. ID. Elliott:
"Ssm Randall deserves infinite credit
for the successful parliamentary fight he
made on the force bill, but without La
mars assistance the battle would have
been lost. He said to Lamar, who
fought with equal courage and ability
in the crisis of the controversy, that he
could kill time no longer by an appeal
to the rules. Both for three days and
nights had gone without sleep or rest.
Lamar staggered under the remark of
Randall, and in a spirit of desperation,
during q brief recess of the House, he
wandered through the corridors aimless-
ly. Quite to his surprise he found him.
self in the presence of Blaine, who rail-
ed him on his detected, haggard look
and inquired the cause. He remarked
that the game WAS ended-the South
must go under. Blaine, who at heart
was opposed to the act, asked him why
he did not call for the reading of the
three days proceedings, which right
could not be denied to member. With
u cry of relief Lamar as quick as thought
FASTENED back to Randall and communi-
Gated his plan. The call for the reading
was then made, but since it would have
consumed over half a days time and
thereby closed the session. the adverse
ry, peseeiviDg the advantage thus gain
ed, surrendered the contest. The fight
was abandoned and the battle WON"

DARING HIGHWAYMEN.

On Wednesday night of last week Mr..
W. s. Pierrepont, travelling salesman
in the employ of Greer s. Laing, of
Wheeling, was attacked on the National
road. west of town. Mr.. Pierrepont had
team from Frazier's livery stable, and
while jogging down the hill from the
Vineyard Hill school house toward Eli
jah PickeriLg's, noticed two men stand
ing in the pike. in the moonlight. He
supposed them to be farmers who had
accidentally met in the road, ,and thought
nothing of the occurrence. but as he
neared them they separated upon either
side of the road, and as his horses reach
ed them he discovered they were mask.
ed. The one upon his right easily caught
his team. and simultaneously the other
presented himself at his buggy, and
with revolver sticking into his face
demanded bis money. Mr.. Pierrepont's
rev Oliver, carried for his protection in
his room at night,was in his satchel, and
surprised as he was he had no other al
tentative than to surrender. He hands
ed over his pocket-bo0k, containing
about S130 in money and check of
John V. Fisher. of Morristown, for Sl35.
When the highwayman lowered his piss
tol to take care of the prof cred pocket>
book, the other called or 60 his confed-
crate to secure his watch. too. There
upon Mr.. Pierrepont struck his team
with his whip, and at the same time
ha i1b, af
StiDgiDg blow in the face. The team
plunged, and breaking away from the
man at their heads. Mr.. Pierrepont es-
capped and drove rapidly to town. As
be passed the man who had stopped the
team he received pistol ball through
the top of his hat, and another shot was
fired at him after he passed. Payment
of the check was stopped. The attack
was made about 1915 o'clock.
About six weeks before, Mr.. Thomas
E. Clark, returning from Morristown
with his wife, was attacked in the same
place, and at the about the same hour.
Mr.. Clark was driving rapidly, and as
be approached the two men in front of
him they separated, and he saw what
he supposed was a stick lying across
the road. Instead it was rope in the
hands of these men, with which they
undertook to throw his team. One
horse was tripped, and, Mrs. Clark
screaming vigorously, the men took to
their heels. The theory is that they had
made a mistake, or else feared the
screams might attract help that would
render their escape doubtful.
The point selected is a good one for
